How many of you watch Netflix? It’s great right? You can stream basically any movie or TV Show you want for $9 a month! What’s not to love?!

My all time favorite show on Netflix is Stranger Things. If you haven’t watched it yet, then you are missing out. It was released on July 15, 2016. It takes place in a made up town called Hawkins, Indiana in the early 1980’s. A Laboratory nearby called “Hawkins National Laboratory” performs scientific research for the United States Department of Energy, but secretly does experiments on supernatural things, including tests on humans. These experiments start affecting the citizens of Hawkins in disastrous ways.

The main characters of the show are:

Chief Hopper – David Harbour

Eleven – Millie Bobby Brown

Dr. Martin Brenner – Matthew Modine

Mike – Finn Wolfhard

Will – Noah Schnapp

Lucas – Caleb McLaughlin

Billy – Dacre Montgomery

Nancy – Natalia Dyer

Jonathan – Charlie Heaton

Joyce – Winona Ryder

Dustin – Gaten Matarazzo

In the beginning of the show the boys are seen playing a board game called Dungeons and Dragons. After they are told to go home, Will and Dustin make a bet on who will win a race to their homes. Will rides off quickly and loses sight of Dustin. Soon before he reaches his home something in the street freaks him out and makes him fall off his bike. He runs home scared trying to call the cops but the power isn’t working… and thats when he goes missing. No one knows what happened to Will.

Everyone in the town believes he ran away, and soon after believe he is dead. His friends however believe he is alive, so they go searching for him. But what they find is unexpected, along the way they meet a girl named Eleven. Eleven isn’t like everyone else, she is different, she has abilities. She is being chased by a man named Dr. Martin Brenner, or “papa”. They boys, along with Eleven, search for Will Byers. What happened to Will Byers? Will his friends find him in time? How long does he have left?

I seriously recommend this show, it’s one season long with a second coming soon. If you like a suspenseful mystery show then this is just for you.
